Hi all, Thanks for your suggestion that helped me lot. one question i would like to test:
I created a key ( using gpg --gen-key from gnupg-1.0.6 ) after that i exported that key as gpg --output customer.asc --armor --export <key id "rahul_kaushik"> # used gnupg-1.0.6 now i took that customer key where my gnupg-1.4.9 running. and inport that key and also signed that using --edit-key. now i was able to encrypt the file ( for example test.txt ) using that key id ( which i have imported ) but there is some problem that i am facing while decryping the same message. >: gpg -d test.txt.gpg gpg: WARNING: using insecure memory! gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html for more information gpg: encrypted with 1024-bit ELG-E key, ID 8BF79D26, created 2009-02-05 "rahul_kaushik (user1.0.6) <[email protected]>" gpg: decryption failed: secret key not availabl Please help me in sorting out this problem...............
